Chandigarh NCD Registry play online

A population based Integrated NCD registry app which will collect the Cancer, Stroke, Acute cardiac events, young diabetes and Chronic Kidney cases/deaths along for a defined population or geographical area. It has major 2 parts i.e., Part 1 includes general characteristic i.e. General data on reporting facility details, patient information, patient history including the behavioural risk factors for NCDs, Part 2 includes 5 disease modules i.e., young diabetes, Stroke, Cancer, Acute Cardiac events and chronic kidney disease and follow up. The integrated NCD Registry was developed as m-Registry i.e., an app-based data collection tool was developed linked with web-based server for real time data collection and reporting by sinking online and offline data with in-built GIS and GPS system.
Currently, separate registries have been set up for cancer, stroke, young diabetes, Acute coronary artery disease in Chandigarh. This is leading to duplication of effort as well as the spending of more resources. However, there is a scope of convergence, and integration, by establishing one common registry for common NCDs by multi-tasking by staff which can be later up scales to add more diseases. Since major hospitals has all related departments, so it is possible to collect relevant information for identified diseases by staff. This approach may provide cost effective means of data collection, initiating comprehensive public health and clinical interventions for prevention and control of Noncommunicable diseases and also promote rational use of manpower, funds and integrated outreach activities.
